House of Music differs from previous Tony Toni Tone albums because it takes the band even further away from studio refinement and emulates the raw, live style that you would hear in a smoky club. Thus, this album may not spawn as many hit singles as Sons of Soul. However, the entire album has a consistently soothing sound that makes it the perfect companion to champagne and candlelight...
...heinous document was thrust into the face of all Latinos, whether they are citizens or not? Surprisingly, very little. Despite the outright fear and racism inherent in Proposition 187's rhetoric, Hispanics as a whole have been slow to react to it. This silence has allowed Proposition 187 to spawn continued support of its message in its brief and tumultuous life, most recently in the form of the affirmative action debate in both Texas and California, and in a more national sense, in terms of the passive acceptance of Proposition 187's ideals in the shape of California Governor Pete...
...more troubling to biologists is the fact that groupers and other valuable reef fish are being harvested at a critical point in their reproductive cycle. With satellite navigation systems to guide them, fishing boats are homing in on areas where large numbers of the fish have gathered to spawn. Already, says University of Hong Kong fish biologist Yvonne Sadovy, fishermen have eradicated entire groups of sexually mature adults, which jeopardizes the future of the fish and also the future of the reef...
...dwindling of reefs in the world's oceans, scientists acknowledge, will not immediately destroy the organisms that build them. Many corals spawn en masse, releasing a vast pinkish slick of fertilized eggs that ride ocean currents for hundreds of miles. In the natural cycle, one reef rises as another declines. This cycle is what humans are now disrupting, however, and no one can foresee what the consequences will be. Creating more marine preserves can help, but even if the reefs are patrolled by armed guards, they may not be able to withstand the twin juggernauts of exploding population...
...springtime for off-Hollywood film, with maverick hits like Fargo, Flirting with Disaster, The Brothers McMullen--and Pulp Fiction by that spawn of the indies, Quentin Tarantino. Redford had a fine, leathery hand in all that too. In '85 some 50 independent films were made; last year there were 700. They earned $735 million at the U.S. box office, nearly triple the gross in 1992. Redford's festival created an aura that welcomed young directors and persuaded Hollywood to do the same. Says indie producer John Pierson: "Sundance totally dominates the independent landscape...
